i gave up on the zagg, samsung is release nice fashion faceplates for the SGS

and i'm already using those nice gel cases + screen protector, that's more than enough protection for the phone.

out of the box, the phone is already super strong, and anti scratch, did you see the video?

it will only break the screen if you drop it from a 1.5 m high
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] shohid1234:
it may be anti scratch but ive scratched the proximity sensor area already :mad: so hopefully the shield will stop other scratches. I would use a gel cover but the shield really doesnt add anything to the thickness, while the cover would.

I get some pics up as soon as I can get hold of a camera.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Ollie2:
Thanks for the reply.

I've actually bought a silicone case and a screen protector for it and it's made it much more manageable and easier to hold and saved the phone when I dropped it the other day.

what about touch sensitivity?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] WiseDuck:
I installed an invisibleShield as soon as the phone arrived. It's a pain in the ass to install as usual, and I was not able to make the top two corners look good. They've already started to peel off but I guess it's going to take a while before the back has to be replaced so I'm not going to worry about it.

Is it worth it? I'd say yes, even after a year you'll still have a phone that looks brand new. Now, the edges around the phone will probably get a couple of scratches because unlike the shield for the iPhone this one does not cover the chrome/metal/whatever bezel. Not a big deal if you ask me.

So, touch sensitivity? It's good. It's just as sensitive with the shield as without. Your fingers won't glide as well across the surface tho. One more thing which you'll see in the pictures; Dust usually collects around the edges of the shield, there is not much you can do about that. Trust me, the dust looks much worse in a picture than it does irl. You can barely see it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] patchirl:
I ordered the full body shield as it was half price.

I just used cheap 6 for 1 ebay screen protector as this one has too much of a grip.

As for the back, as said above the top corners just will not fit completely and lift just a tiny bit at the tips.

Getting tiny bubble out results in the orange peel effect. This is because the shield is slightly rubbery and streches as you force out the bubbles.

IMO the shield protects very well, but I cant imagine ever getting the 'perfect' look with it on.

Its far from invisible, due to slight orange peel, minute bubbles which will only turn into more orange peel should I try to force them out.

If I ever buy one again, it will have graphics on it(they have those for iphone etc, perhaps the sgs is too new..) as then the slight imperfections would be less obvious.

Id rate the item 6/10. It doesn't protect the bezel or extreme corners and doesn't look great where it does protect.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MagicOnline:
thx for the pics. i got the same edge problems on my old iphone too. the zagg shield is ordered, i should get it next week.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Pneumatic:
Don't count on it. I ordered mine on the 16th and I still don't have it (on the 25th).
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
i knew it would not cover the corners properly, it looks ugly when there are little pieces of plastic cropping out of the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] eeney:
For the back I think the Zagg sheild is brilliant, almost full cover and invisible, with no extra bulk, and a little bit more grip.

For the front, I probably prefer a normal screen protector. My wife has a $1 screen protector from flea-baythat is much better to use (although needs more regular cleaning). The zagg is a little tacky meaning your finger doesn't slide as easily (not ideal for Swype).

Fitting:

I gotta confess that I didn't get the back perfect, but mainly because Ifit it in a dimly lit room, the cover edges are hard to see without bright light. I did get the corner 90% by using glad wrap (plastic wrap) tightly pulled over the corners and left overnight (saw this on a youtube demo video).

Also I once helped a colleague who fits 3m window film for a living. I noticed that he used a lot of liquid, so for the front I made up some more liquid, enough to refill the bottle Zagg provide. I used the whole bottle on the front, making fitting much easier, you can just slide tje cover around until it's perfect, then you just push out all the liquid. Using more liquid also seemed to help alleviate any bubbles. Also for the front I used a very bright light (480 lumens bike light) which made it much easier to see exactly where the edges were.

I'm also hoping that Zagg bring out the coloured/patterned backs, which in an email to me they said they would, then I'll use a regular screen protector for the front.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] WiseDuck:
What is that liquid anyways?

I don't feel like it's a good idea to spray your device with something. When I put the shield on my iPhone I saw a couple of small droplets here and there enter the phone. I pushed some liquid near openings around the glass and some of it was sucked inside somehow. It hasn't damaged the phone, I still don't know if it can.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] eeney:
I just remixed a new solution: a couple of drops of baby shampoo with water in the bottle supplied. (I think you can use other stuff like washing detergent, but don't take my word, use google (3m film))

From the 3m website:

"3M™ Scotchtint™ Films are professionally applied by skilled, well-trained authorized 3M Dealers. Almost all of our films are designed to be applied to the inside of your glass.

The first step is to prepare the window area for the application; placing drop cloths on the floor protecting and/or moving furniture where necessary.

Next, the window glass is cleaned using simple cleaning solutions (often water and ammonia) and razor blade scrapers. Then the film is sprayed with a slip solution (detergent and water) for proper positioning, and applied to the window glass. Using a professional grade squeegee and following proper techniques, the application is completed by removing excess water, trimming the edges, and a final squeegee technique to dry the edges."
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
same here

liquid and electronics don't mix

i don't like the idea of having anything wet near my device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Quiksilver78:
Hi WiseDuck, which (p)leather pouch is that you are using? I am trying to find a similar solution for my Galaxy phone :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ghosty_uk:
fitted my zagg invisi-shield yesterday, am a bit dissapointed that it does not cover the bezel, and that the screen one leaves a slight gap at the side, and that the corners are not totally protected, thats why i will put it in the silicone skin when it arrives only taking it out to use it in he car holder for sat-nav reasons (if the gps holds out).

as for waiting time, it took mine about 6 days to arrive.

as for fitting, it was quite straight forward, still have aq couple of cm of the fluid left. if you read the instructions properly it says there will be enought residual solution in the bottle that if you empty it all you need to do is use water. however i can advise that a drop of washing up liquid will do the job if its required (i used the same method to fit the titn to the windows of my civic coupe)

as for the pics:

Front

Back

Sides and Base

i can confirm it is abit harder to swipe your finger now, but i like that feeling as the screen was to sensative, so it now reacts how i would want it to.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
hmm... too much dust dirt and finger prints on it :p

exactly what i don't want to see on my phone, that's why i picked the standard easy to remove screen protector, over the zagg shield screen, those i can wash and replace with another one instantly meanwhile the dirty one dries out after a wash

Hi this is my first post so go easy on me please, Im looking into flashing my htc desire im fairly familer with flashing other devices such as xbox or ps

and i want to ensure i get this right obviously. Xda is a great source of information .. ive tryed to read through a lot of it to make sure im familer with proccess

and id just like to make sure ive understand what has been posted correctly.

So as far as rooting is concerned i can follow either of these 2 guides :-

•Root guide for users who have unbranded(unlocked) Desire - post #2

on this guide i notice you flash with rootupdate.zip , so am i correct in thinking that with any of the roms i download i just rename them to rootupdate for this proccess to work ?

Also ive noticed a lot of talk about backing up and one program keeps popping up called nandroid , as far as im aware i can use this to make a image of my phone and restore at a later date should i want to,

is there a tutorial ive missed in regards to this program someone could point out or any other programs i should use to backup data on phone ... ?

Finally my phone details , i would just like to confirm that im fine for flashing

[Desire General] AndroHero:
nooooo no no no no, first of all follow this guide to rooting its by far the easyist, http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/, once rooted you will be able to flash any rom from recovery, i suggest flashin the latest clockworkmod recovery from here http://www.unrevoked.com/#desire, when flashing anything there is no need to change there name these days :)
[Desire General] wolver1ne:
Just follow the following tutorials to root and flash roms. It's easy as pie.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire/

For backup, recovery and whatnot, use ROM Manager app from within Android. It does the same thing as nandroid in recovery mode.
[Desire General] tonnytech:
wow thanks for the speedy replys guys really appreciated , im going to go over the information both of you have provided over tea shortly and post back :)
[Desire General] Supergluey:
Since you are 0.80 i suggest not to follow the nimbu's guide. These guides from my understanding is for Hboot 0.75 and lower. The higher ones like myself use a different file. You can follow the steps from theunlockr.com but don't use their file. If u want the 0.80 file i would get it from desire.modaco.com its i think on the first page of the forums.

I just flashed yesterday and i had to open many different tabs cause none of the guides state 0.80 or higher and which files to use.
[Desire General] tonnytech:
ok ive gone thru the tuts both have provided and i notice they all tell you to make a gold card , i was under impression i dident need to do this as my phone is network free ?
[Desire General] Pyr0x64:
why not just use unrevoked 3.0?
[Desire General] tonnytech:
well this tut i posted is revoked

also can i confirm i dont need to make a gold card as im unbranded / network free ?
[Desire General] saepaan:

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone tried using Opera Mini via their Wifi connection. For some strange reason, after updating my firmware to R2BA020 Germany version on my X10a and downloading Opera Mini 5.1, my Opera browser doesn't seem to work via Wifi! My regular browser works fine and so does Android Market via Wifi.

Weird thing is on 3G, Opera Mini 5.1 works fine; just as the regular browser.

Anyone experience this issue? Or is it cuz my firmware screwed up my Wifi? Possibly driver issues between X10i firmware on an X10a unit? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

[HD2 General] juggs:
To start, I've installed BsB Tweaks, Co0kies Home Tab and Opera 10.

Once and awhile the notification bar will remain what program I was just in. For example, if I'm in the main Notification screen and go back to home, it will still say Notifications up top. Conversely, if I just exited Opera or Home Tab editor, those title bars will be up there, rather than the main notification bar. The only way I've found to get it back is to shut the phone down and restart it. Restarting Sense doesn't bring it back. I did a soft reset last night and it's done it once already today.

Any thoughts? I've searched quite a bit as I don't like to post if the question has already been answered.

TIA.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I think its Opera 10. I didn't have that happen prior to installing it, but I've not tweaked or installed anything since.

I've noticed it doesn't like being minimised either, causing Sense to lag into life, whereas every other prog I have is fine.

Well I have been looking into this as I come from windows mobile I loved this feature. Since super BT mono does not work I have found a work around but its not the Best. So basically you call a number that has a long automated message like a movie theater for movie times or something else and put the phone on hold then just play music or video, I was testing it with slingbox and it worked great. However the samsung video player does not let you play when the phone is on. If someone can think of a number that gives us a long message that would be great.
